D&D 5E 5-Part Forgotten Realms Adventure Coming Next Week

From Polygon comes a report that WotC is releasing for download an anthology of five adventures for character levels 8-10 on June 29th to celebrate the Magic the Gathering: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms card set.

Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, a Dungeons & Dragons-themed set of cards for Magic: The Gathering, is introducing something special — and free — for fans of D&D. A substantial role-playing adventure will be made available for download starting around June 29. Wizards made the announcement earlier this month during a private press event.

In the past, new sets of Magic cards have been heralded by some excellent digital fiction — lengthy and well-written short stories that set the mood for the coming cards. This time around, publisher Wizards of the Coast is taking a different tack. Instead of short stories, it’s releasing a module for characters level eight through 10. Meris Mullaley, world-building and narrative design manager at Wizards, said that there would be five adventures. Each will run between 15 and 20 pages in total.

That's a pretty interesting level range -- presumably to make traveling the planes at some point in the adventure easier. And at a total of between 75 and 100 pages, it's a pretty significant work.

Weird, I totally do not see that.

I just went and Binged "Dungeons & Dragons free five part adventure" and got the Polygon article, with all of the details from the OP. Still up.

OK, I believed you until you claimed you use Bing.

No, checked with other browsers, I still see all the same info: 5 part adventure, June 29th.

Correction, I'm still getting the article and date.

The Polygon article linked in the first post in this thread has no mention of a free adventure. Does anybody have a source that actually says this is happening?

It disappeared and is now back!

However, no sign of these adventures anywhere.

that's why I used it, I normally use neither Bing nor FireFox, so the cache is squeaky clean.

Well, the article says "around June the 29th", so I guess that the date was nor firmly fixed when WotC shared that announcement.

So, the module cards, all lined up next to each other!

Evolving Wilds, C7: Levels 1-4
Cave of the Frost Dragon, R11: Levels 17-20

I didn't check the original article, but the version I'm getting right now says [emphasis mine]:

Highly peculiar. Maybe Polygon took it down for a bit while they touched base with WotC to be sure it was happening?
